HollywoodNews.com: The new BBC TV documentary ‘Russell Brand: From Addiction to Recovery’ will show fans of the actor and comedienne a different and darker side than they might be used to.
The documentary will reportedly have real-life footage of Brand when he was in his 20s and addicted to drugs, states RadarOnline. And footage of Brand seeing the past makes it very clear how strong his drug addiction is now.
“This is when you know it’s a disease. It doesn’t matter that I was sat in that flat in Hackney and now I’m in the Savoy. I’m jealous of me then,” Brand comments while watching the footage.
Brand has been clean for ten years, but it is apparently a very hard struggle: “It doesn’t make a difference to me. The money, the fame, the power, the sex, the women – none of it. I’d rather be a drug addict.”

HollywoodNews.com: Russell Brand, a former addict, has been especially affected by Amy Winehouse’s recent passing and decided to put it into words.
Brand decided to write a blog post about getting to know her and see her lose in the end, states UsMagazine.com. “‘Jazz singer? She must be some kind of eccentric,’ I thought. I chatted to her anyway though, she was after all, a girl, and she was sweet and peculiar but most of all vulnerable,” Brand says about first meeting Winehouse.
However, he eventually saw that she was struggling with her addictions: “[H]er manner in our occasional meetings brought home to me the severity of her condition.”
Do you think people will remember her for her talent or addiction?

HollywoodNews.com: The Universal family flick “Hop” seems to have hopped away with the biggest opening this weekend. The combination live-action and animation film, starring a Russell Brand-voiced Easter Bunny, is estimated to have earned a three-day gross of $38.1 million.
According to Eonline, ‘Hop’ passed the Jake Gyllenhaal thriller “Source Code,” which did a decent $15.1 million. Against a film budget of $32 million, that may not be as big an opening as Summit Entertainment had hoped. Still, “Source Code” seems to be receiving very good reviews and could do well in the long run.
E! also noted that budget horror film “Insidious” (at a cost of about $1 million to make) brought in almost as much as “Source Code.” And “Sucker Punch,” with its mixed reviews, hasn’t hit $30 million in two weekends. It’s at number seven this week, so might “Sucker Punch” drop completely out of the top ten next weekend?
It will be interesting to watch the box office race over the next few weeks.
The five top-grossing films so far this weekend:
1. Hop, $38.1 million
2. Source Code, $15.1 million
3. Insidious, $13.5 million
4. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, $10.2 million
5. Limitless, $9.4 million
Did you hit the theaters this weekend and see “Hop” or “Source Code” (or both)? What did you think?
